First Birthday Backdrop Rental in Lemont: 'Some Bunny Is One' at Cog Hill
Chicago Flower Wall rents first birthday backdrops, balloon garlands and light-up marquee numbers for parties across Chicagoland. The setup in this post was styled by our sister company, The Pretty Party Boutique, at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club in Lemont: a pink ribbed arch panel lettered "Some Bunny is ONE," framed by a garland in coral pink, sage and white with bunny foil balloons, and finished with an illuminated marquee 1. Chicago Flower Wall rents the same panels, garlands and marquee numbers for first birthdays throughout Chicago and the southwest suburbs.
The Setup: A Pink Ribbed Panel Against Dark Wood
A country club banquet room is a formal place — dark wood panelling, leaded-glass doors, a patterned carpet in reds and golds — and a first birthday backdrop has to hold its own in that room without fighting it. This photograph shows the Boutique's answer: one tall arch panel in a soft, saturated pink, set into the corner where two wood-panelled walls meet. The panel's surface is ribbed from top to bottom, fine vertical lines that catch the ceiling light and keep a flat color from reading as flat. Its rounded crown follows the arch shape that runs through this whole family of backdrops, and it is tall enough that the lettering sits well above a seated toddler's head in photographs.
The lettering does the theme's talking. Across the upper third of the panel, in white script, it reads "Some Bunny is ONE," with a small bunny worked into the first word. The Boutique's caption keeps the same wording — "Some Bunny is ONE!" — and its hashtags file the post under first birthdays and backdrop rentals. A lettered backdrop and balloon garland rental built around a pun like this one gives the party its photograph before a single guest arrives: every picture taken in front of the panel carries the theme and the milestone with it.
The Garland: Coral Pink, Sage and White, With Two Bunnies
The balloon work starts at the panel's crown and pours down its right side to the floor. Coral pink is the lead color, in the largest orbs at the top and in tight clusters of small rounds worked through the whole run. The second color is a soft sage — a grey-green that quiets the pink and picks up the room's formal tones — and the third is white, concentrated in the middle of the column and at its base. The sizes are deliberately mixed: big statement balloons carry the shape, medium rounds fill it, and clusters of five or six small balloons stitch the gaps, which is what makes an organic garland read as one poured form instead of a string of separate balloons.
Two foil balloons carry the bunny theme into the garland itself. Both are grey bunny heads with closed, smiling eyes, pink inner ears and a pink nose — one tucked into the garland at shoulder height on the right, the second sitting at the column's base, at exactly the height of the one-year-old guest of honor. That placement is the detail parents photograph most: the birthday child, seated or held at the base of the backdrop, is framed by the garland above and a bunny at eye level beside her. Hosts planning a different animal or character theme can swap the foils and keep the same structure — the panel, the palette and the garland shape stay, and the accent balloons change.
The Marquee 1: A Lit Number at the Panel's Base
Standing at the left base of the panel is a light-up marquee number 1, white with a row of warm round bulbs running down its stem and across its foot. It balances the composition — garland weight on the right, light on the left — and it gives the setup a second photo position, because guests pose beside a lit number as readily as in front of a lettered panel. A small cluster of the same coral pink, sage and white balloons is tucked around the number's base, tying it into the garland's palette instead of leaving it as a separate prop.
A marquee number also does quiet practical work at a first birthday. It announces the milestone to anyone walking into the room, it marks the gift and cake end of the backdrop without a sign, and its warm bulbs add light at toddler height in a room lit for adults. For hosts who want the participatory version of the same corner, a flower bar cart rental can stand nearby and let guests build small bouquets in the party's colors — though at a bunny party in March, the garland's spring palette is already doing that work. The same marquee treatment scales to any age: the number changes, the bulbs and the balloon cluster at its base stay the same idea.
Who Styled the Cog Hill Backdrop — and Who Rents It
The Pretty Party Boutique styled this first birthday setup at Cog Hill and posted it on March 15, 2025, with the club tagged as the location. The Boutique is Chicago Flower Wall's sister company, which is why a Boutique styling job is documented here. Lettered arch panels, organic garlands with foil accents and light-up marquee numbers are core Chicago Flower Wall rentals for first birthdays across Chicagoland. For a complete kids' party production the Boutique is the door; for the backdrop, garland and marquee number on their own, the quote starts with Chicago Flower Wall. A green version of the same photo moment — a hedge panel with a themed garland — is available as a hedge wall and flower wall backdrop rental for hosts who want garden texture instead of a ribbed panel.
